[QUOTE="GGLove, post: 3884, member: 190"] From what I've heard and experienced: - [B]Freshfields [/B]recruits more than half of its intake direct from TC (source: grad rec at the London presentation + two people I know who accepted TCs with them last summer). Don't forget that its VS is only open to penultimate year students! - [B]Slaughter and May[/B] has 75 people on its full, 3-week vac schemes, but people are mostly assesssed on their final assessment day (with work experience feedback operating as a 'veto'). Hence, applying directly for the TC and doing an assessment day won't disadvantage you! - [B]Macfarlanes [/B]is similar - while they take the VS feedback into account, it's mostly about doing well in the final[B] [/B]two days of the VS. About half of Macfarlanes' intake is from direct TC - [B]Clifford Chance's[/B] vac scheme is tiny (only 50 people afaik) and restricted to penultimate year students only. This probably means that they have to fill a lot of the remaining intake through direct TC apps. Most other firms seem to be recruiting heavily from VS (with direct TC applicants 'filling the gaps') One thing to note about the data in the OP is that it doesn't take the offer rate into account. Slaughters gives out TC offers to 60-70% of its vac schemers (of which there are either 75 or 100 p.a. depending on whether you count the Easter Vac Scheme as a 'proper' vac scheme). A [I]lot [/I]of them turn it down because they have another Magic Circle TC or because they want to go to the Bar. Hence why only 30% of trainees did a VS at the firm. [/QUOTE]
